Willem de Eerste — Netherlands · Tier X · Battleship

A battlecruiser—a further development of the G3 design—that could hypothetically have been built in Britain in the 1920s and later modernized in the late 1930s. The ship could have been transferred to the allied Netherlands during World War II to strengthen the nation's navy.
